Cost is a significant one and that comes in many different forms. But one of the most interesting themes that ran through this study was the concern about job security.<br /><br />Staff turnover in this case was breeding staff turnover. Employees were feeling unsettled watching a new employee walk out the door each month which consequently lead to their own resignation. Now there were factors in between this of course, but there is a lesson here. Employees want to feel secure in their job. The more people they see leave the more insecure they feel.<br /><br />Many factors affect employee retention. Its always a good idea to have a look at employee retention strategies within your organisation as we know all too well. It can get out of control very quickly!<br /><br /><br />Retention Partners Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12959728929329163554noreply@blogger.com0Sydney NSW, Australia-33.8674869 151.20699020000006-34.711976400000005 149.91609670000005 -33.0229974 152.49788370000007tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011809831958137129.post-42921301324814484622013-10-17T11:23:00.000+11:002013-10-17T11:26:10.334+11:00Employee engagement workshops to motivate your staff <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcIfZEigApI/Ul8tfMcTUFI/AAAAAAAABSo/v0wXLT1ZWIk/s1600/employee+engagement+workshop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Smile with employee engagement workshop " border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QcIfZEigApI/Ul8tfMcTUFI/AAAAAAAABSo/v0wXLT1ZWIk/s320/employee+engagement+workshop.jpg" title="The road to employee engagement workshops" width="210" /></a>We all want motivated staff. Staff motivation will rise and fall throughout the year depending on many factors including those out of our control.<br /><br />However what we like to know is how we can influence factors within our control and maintain that employee engagement.<br /><br />So - You cant offer that promotion to Harry right now but you could keep him challenged and motivated by offering him an opportunity to train, or to work in another area of the organisation.<br /><br />The main thing is to keep Harry challenged and interested until that promotion is an option or find an alternative. If Harry is an asset then do not let him walk!<br /><br />There are many ways in which we can keep our employees engaged.

A client of ours was losing staff at a rapid rate and couldn't understand why.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RW6K1CWp-vU/UiPutExf8CI/AAAAAAAABRg/c7NGb4oU1ZI/s1600/sept+2nd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Employee retention surveys are vital to retention" border="0" height="183" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RW6K1CWp-vU/UiPutExf8CI/AAAAAAAABRg/c7NGb4oU1ZI/s200/sept+2nd.jpg" title="Retain staff with employee retention surveys " width="200" /></a>We spoke with just under 100 members of staff over a two week period. Some were current employee's and others had already left.<br /><br />We found a couple of key issues causing these employees to leave or making them think about leaving.<br /><br />Now when we embarked on this particular study we had our own views on why this organisation was losing employees. The interesting thing was that even we were surprised at the outcomes! We uncovered a couple of major themes running through the organisation that was having an impact on their retention.<br /><br />Now, we don't just report back to our clients on major themes. We make recommendations and work with our clients to put these in to practice. The great news with the recent study conducted is that the employees themselves had all the answers! They just needed a voice and to be heard. Not all answers are easy or straight forward but I can tell you that a lot of them are!<br /><br />It really does emphasis the importance of listening to your employees.<br /><br />We would be delighted to do the same for your organisation.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.retentionpartners.com.au/" target="_blank">www.retentionpartners.com.au</a><br /><br />Please call &nbsp;1300 73 83 71<br /><br /><br />Retention Partners Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12959728929329163554noreply@blogger.com0Sydney NSW, Australia-33.8674869 151.20699020000006-34.711976400000005 149.91609670000005 -33.0229974 152.49788370000007tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011809831958137129.post-23422484990343503862013-08-19T14:19:00.000+10:002013-08-19T14:21:01.521+10:00Employee turnover doesn't have to be a headache!

At least with this kind of knowledge you can plan for the future &amp; pour resources in to keeping your staff engaged!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For more information on employee turnover visit <a href="http://retentionpartners.com.au/">retentionpartners.com.au</a><br /><br /><br />Retention Partners Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12959728929329163554noreply@blogger.com0Sydney NSW, Australia-33.8674869 151.20699020000006-34.711976400000005 149.91609670000005 -33.0229974 152.49788370000007tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011809831958137129.post-6994810338204393832013-08-07T13:50:00.002+10:002013-08-07T13:57:59.963+10:00An employee survey can be specified & diverse!Employee survey doesn't just have to mean 'interview a sample of your entire staff population'. It can be broken down in to many variations and aspects of the business.

In some cases they may have a goal of increasing their staff retention from 60 -70% within a year.<br /><br />In this circumstance we would work with them to find the best solution for them. More often then not we complete a study whereby we telephone interview a cross section of the company to gain some honest, undiluted feedback enabling us to pin point troublesome areas. It also allows us to hone in on strong areas whereby an organisation can benefit from fostering these attributes.<br /><br />Improving retention is not a one size fits all. You must tailor the strategy to your organisation. However there are some pretty good tips and ideas on how to get the right strategy for you if you only ask!<br /><br />Lisa &amp; Gemma would be delighted to have an informal chat with you regarding your retention strategy on 1300 73 83 71<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Retention Partners Teamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12959728929329163554noreply@blogger.com0Victoria, Australia-37.4713077 144.7851531-43.992477699999995 134.4580046 -30.9501377 155.1123016
